Day 19, February 17th. I left the albergue in Vega de Sariega after sunrise and another long deep sleep, in a long sleeve t-shirt because the forecast was good and it gives incentive to warm up. It was a relatively flat easy walk and I stopped...
Day 17, February 15, I left Piñeres de Pria before sunrise trying to get an early start because I had a long day ahead of me. There was rain in the forecast but not until afternoon, the first part of the day was the warmest I've seen yet, it got...
I would definitely recommend using Buen Camino or Gronze Maps(it's an app that only does the map function, separate from the website) for some of the coastal routes. @Perigrina2000 on this forum has a downloadable pdf of many of them, I don't...
Day 16, February 14th, I left Pendueles as the sun came up, the yellow flechas led me to the coast and more spectacular scenery. The walk to Llanes was enjoyable in more nice weather, there were a lot of clouds, little to no wind and the temp got...
Day 15, February 13th, we left Comillas with a great forecast and the weather folks were right on(it happens now and again). We inadvertently took the coastal route at Ria de la Rabia(no regrets, there was a sharp turn we didn't notice admiring...
Day 14, February 12th, I left Boo de Pielagos at 8:30am because I still had my alarm set for 7 from the night before and couldn't resist a coffee at the Albergue tavern. I walked to Comillas, my app said it was 46km, that is the longest day yet...
Day 12, February 10th, We left Colindres with a good breeze in 10°. For the next couple hours it drizzled a little bit and when we got to Escalante, a foreboding darkness convinced me to put on my rain jacket. We were hit with some sideways rain...
Day 11, February 9th, we left Islares in 18°, it was still a little bit breezy but nothing like the gales of the night before. We opted for the coastal route again (always) and were rewarded with some more spectacular views, the weather held out...
Day 9, February 7th, we walked from Bilbao to Portugalete taking the official route. It was a short relatively easy, mostly urban walk, which is good because tomorrow will be a long one. We are staying at the Bida Ona albergue in Portugalete...
Day 8, February 6, I walked from Pozueta to Bilbao in cloudy turning into sunny weather, the signs read 16° I stopped for coffee in Larrabetzu and Lezamo before going over the hill to Bilbao. It was an easy walk compared to the previous stages...
